![]() ![]() ![]() Taking its inspiration from ancient Greek mythology, particularly the stories relating to the underworld, Zagreus’ mission is to escape the realm of Hades, his father, to a new life on the surface. The game is a roguelike, in which the player proceeds through randomly generated dungeon-like chambers toward their goal until their character dies. You are Zagreus, Prince of the Underworld, and this is Hades, a video game developed and published by Supergiant Games. The chambers of Tartarus: after defeating the shades in each chamber, you can collect a reward to help you on your way. After you destroy them, the shield icon reappears – a message from the goddess Athena, your cousin, here to aid you on your quest with the offer of a boon. Here, the shades are corporeal, glowing orange – and they attack you! First come the Wretched Thugs, their clubs held aloft next, Wretched Witches, who cast their orange orbs at you. Running through the corridor you smash a few pillars with your Stygian blade before advancing to the next chamber, marked with the image of a shield. You face a corridor surrounded by the red waters of the river Styx, the translucent green shades of the dead milling around you. You fall into a corridor and land in front of a portico carved with an imposing looking face, flanked by statues of six-armed giants, the Gegenees. ![]()
